The Dodgers may get reinforcements on the roster for the World Series.

Left-hander Alex Vesia, who missed the National League Championship Series after suffering an intercostal injury in Game 5 of the NL Division Series, said he is “90% confident” he will be active for the Fall Classic after spending recent bullpen sessions had completed. the final week and a live batting practice session with 15 pitches on Wednesday.

“I’m confident that with how I felt on Wednesday night, I’ll be even better when I go out with some adrenaline in my system and face some Yankees,” Vesia said.

Shortstop Miguel Rojas is also set to be active for the World Series after missing the NLCS with a nagging adductor injury, an injury that has sidelined him since Game 3 of the NLDS.

“Everything looks really good,” manager Dave Roberts said of Rojas. “I think there is a very good chance that he will be on the roster.”

The Dodgers also dodged another bullet in the NLCS.

In Game 6 on Sunday, Evan Phillips was limited to just one inning of work – in a situation where it would have made sense for him to pitch two – due to what he described as “arm fatigue” typical of pitchers this late in the season . .

The problem arose after his previous appearance in Game 4 in New York. “I just didn’t come back well after that game,” Phillips said. “Last night it was more of the same.”

However, Phillips said he has been focused on his recovery this week and has “no concerns” about his availability for the World Series.

“Last night’s decision,” he said, “just came down to making a smart decision to keep me available.”

The other roster move the Dodgers were considering on the eve of Game 1: potentially activating hard-throwing right-handed reliever Brusdar Graterol, who Roberts said was heading in the right direction after a shoulder injury that cost him four months at the start. the season, and flared up again in late September.

Roberts said the fact that Graterol has thrown just seven times in the regular season will be “part of the math.” But, he added of a pitcher with a 1.64 postseason ERA, “the other part is his track record in the postseason, how good he’s been.”

“We’re going to have some tough conversations,” Roberts said of his sudden fall behind the roster. “But as far as pitching goes, we’re in a pretty good spot right now.”
